306 I Admit Defeat!

“It ended so quickly?! Fortunately, I didn’t have to go to the toilet this time.”

“As expected of the number one participant. Bishop defeated Taiwu’s third-best student with just one move.”

“I lost hope for a few seconds just now. I thought Bishop would lose, but I was too ignorant.”

...

The entire Shenlu Martial Arts Arena broke out into heated discussions. However, some only watched the show and did not see the details. In the top ten universities’ viewing area, the other nine were shocked by what had just happened.

East Lake University’s team leader, Lisa, widened her eyes, covered her mouth with both hands, and said in disbelief, “Bishop is amazing. His opponent is a level 38 earth-typer berserker approaching level 39, so Pei Ji’s offense and defenses are excellent. How could Bishop defeat him in just a few seconds?”

“Bishop has risen to level 41 in just a year. His divine arts are getting increasingly profound. Fortunately, my university isn’t facing them in the same zone,” Yangtze Institute’s team leader patted his chest as he spoke, his eyes revealing incomparable envy.

Eastern Institute’s team leader, Baresi, narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw what had happened. He muttered with a shocked expression, “Bishop is strong, significantly because he matured from last year. He’s a king this year.”

Baresi was thrilled that Kyoto only sent five second-year students this year. Otherwise...

...

Compared to the top ten institutes’ discussions, Connie, the leader of Shuimu’s team, and Teke, the leader of Shanghai’s team, were even more shocked.

Sitting beside each other, the two team leaders exclaimed in unison, “That was the Positive-reverse Buff!”

“The Positive-reserve Buff?!” Quincy raised his eyebrows and could not help but exclaim when he heard Connie’s exclamation.

However, he calmed down immediately after, even though his heart was still surging. Quincy lost to Bishop last year by a small margin for the Best Newcomer award.

Indeed, Quincy was unconvinced at that time, but he praised Bishop from the bottom of his heart this year. He knew that as a Templar Warrior, Bishop had both the Holy Priest and Warrior skills.

But his prayers, blessing, healing, exorcism, and other divine spells were only positive buffs. Bishop had used a reverse speed skill on Pei Ji just now, then quickly used a positive strength and speed buff on himself.

Moreover, the forward and reverse buffs worked in tandem. He could understand the reverse buffs because the stronger Templar Warriors would use them. However, the forward buffs could not work in tandem when the reverse buffs worked.

‘Bishop has become even more powerful,’ Quincy thought as his expression became solemn, ‘I’ll get a headache if I meet him in the finals, even if there are five first-year students on his team.’

Meanwhile, Ronald, the captain of Shanghai’s team, had a severe expression. He locked his eyes on Bishop in the ring, clearly thinking about something.

...

The principal of the top ten universities was sitting upright on the stage. Behind him were the principals and leaders of the top 120 universities.

Jay from the Ministry of Education was ecstatic as he sat at the judges’ table. He was a fan of Bishop after he personally awarded Bishop the Best Newcomer award last year.

It was hard to hide his joy, but before commenting, he respectfully asked Professor Locke beside him, “How do you think Bishop will do this year, Professor Locke?”

Locke’s eyes lit up and revealed a praising smile. He slowly said, “Bishop is performing swimmingly. I had high hopes for him last year, and he gave me another big surprise just now.”

“Professor Locke, I noticed the limited skills, so can you help me understand it better?” Jay Jie cupped his hands and said humbly with a heartfelt smile.

“Haha, you are too modest. As the Ministry of Education’s Vice Minister, you have met many more people than an old man like me.” Locke smiled and returned the bow before continuing:

“Bishop used both positive and negative buffs just now. Moreover, these two buffs can also be effective simultaneously,” As he spoke, Locke gave a thumbs up.

Then an even more gratified smile appeared on his face. Locke’s eyes kept flashing. “But what surprised me more is that these two buffs worked together and could produce different effects.

“Just now, he used four to five times the reverse speed reduction buff on Pei Ji while he used two to three times the positive power and speed buff on himself. This is very rare and valuable.

“It’s just like how a person can draw a circle and a triangle at the same speed, but if he draws a triangle at five times the speed, it’s challenging to draw a circle at three times the speed. As far as I know, among all the paladin professions, very few can achieve this effect.”

After listening to Locke’s explanation, Jay Jie suddenly realized something. He admired Locke but admired Bishop even more.

He nodded heavily and gave Locke a thumbs up. “Professor Locke, your explanation is perfect. It makes me look forward to Bishop’s next performance.”

He paused for a moment and then asked smilingly, “Professor Locke, do you think Bishop will be this year’s MVP?”

Hearing this, Locke raised his eyebrows and said faintly, “It’s hard to say. According to past practice, the MVP is typically in the winning team. Unless it’s a unique case, such as when Kyoto won the championship five years ago, Shanghai’s Lei Zhe received the MVP award instead.

“On the one hand, Lei Zhe’s performance was indeed outstanding, and on the other, the host of that year was Shanghai University.”

Then he changed the topic and continued, “If Kyoto enters the top 32 this year, they will meet participants from the top 10 teams. If Kyoto can make it to the end this year, then the MVP will be Bishop.”

Jay Jie sighed lightly and muttered, “Sigh, Kyoto’s lineup this year does feel a bit sloppy.”

Then he looked suspiciously at Monte, still chatting cheerfully on the stage.

...

The referee on duty in the ring was also shocked by what had just happened. He did not even announce the end of the match.

Amidst the heated discussion, the audience had also forgotten that the match had ended. Perhaps no one wanted Bishop’s match to end so quickly.

“Look, it’s moving!” Someone shouted from the audience stands, and nearly 100,000 pairs of eyes turned to look toward the ring.

The shouts were still echoing in the arena while Pei Ji, who was in the arena, staggered to his feet.

Bishop stood in the same spot, not showing any intention of pursuing victory as he watched Pei Ji tidy his clothes.

Everyone thought Pei Ji would continue fighting when he approached Bishop and stopped two meters away. Pei Ji cupped his fist in salute and said something to Bishop. Then he raised his hand, signaling the referee, and jumped out of the ring.

“Whoa!”

“He admitted defeat? !”

...

Amidst the audience’s doubtful voices, Aurora’s magnetic voice sounded, “The referee on duty has confirmed that Pei Ji has voluntarily forfeited the match,” she paused and deliberately dragged out the end of her announcement, “The winner of this match is...Bishop!”

Immediately after, the entire arena resounded in cheers and chants.
